Brilliant!!!

Thank you x 2!!!

Now if only we can get this on the national nightly news...

Huh? This premise is nuts. How on earth do you not process her triangulation?

If you weren't an Obama supporter your argument would be so much more compelling. "Butcha AHH, Blancha AHH!!", to quote Baby Jane. I just love hearing from the folks who are outraged at the prospect of a primary where every state counts.

In this protracted campaign that has lasted so many months it's amazing how votes don't count at all if they are cast one week, but would count completely if they had been cast just a few weeks later. Poor Florida and Michigan. All those invalid people!

But then in November everybody's vote will count. Well, except for the spoiled ballots. At least none of us will ever know if our ballot was spoiled or not. They don't send out notices saying, "Sorry. You're invalid."

And then of course there's the electoral college system which gives each state 2 electors, plus a certain number of electors relative to population... which means if you live in a state like Wyoming your vote counts much more than if you live in California. Wyoming's population merits it only 1 elector. But it gets three. Not bad. No wonder Dick Cheney decided to come from there. He gets three times the voting power he deserves.

But I guess none of this really matter because most states are winner-take-all in November. If the Democratic primaries were too, then Hillary would have already won. But they're not. Pity! However it doesn't really matter because come November millions and millions of people will be voting for the candidate they didn't vote for anyway. I mean, look at all those Democrats who voted for Obama in N. Carolina. They pretty much finished Hillary off. But they'll be voting for McCain in November because N. Carolina is a winner-take-all red state. Boy, are those Obama supporters going to be pissed when McCain thanks them for their vote.

At least as a Californian I'll be voting for Obama, even though I may have written in Clinton. There's no chance this state is going Republican. Well, except that in their infinite wisdom the voters of California recalled their Democratic governor and replaced him with Schwarzenegger. You can't blame them. We had a huge budget deficit, and Schwarzenegger was after all a movie star like Ronald Wilson Reagan whose name just happens to add up to 666, but the born againers never seemed to notice.

And now that we have a huge budget deficit again I suppose we might one day see a Democratic governor in "Ka-lee-foah-nya" if the right movie star with the right accent comes along. Although Schwarzenegger is popular again. He became unpopular for a while, but as soon as the economy soured and the same conditions came along that allowed him to kick his predecessor out of office, the Governator's popularity went back up again. Go figure! I mean, everyone knew those were fake potholes he was filling in that photo op on the news. His office had sent a road crew out to that neighborhood to dig those potholes that very morning. He drove over a hundred fifty real potholes on his way to film himself filling in that fake pothole. But he looked good in his expensive shoes and finely pressed pants wielding that shovel. Great smile, too.

Well at least he's against the constitutional amendment measure that's going on the November ballot. It's kind of odd though that the guy twice vetoes gay marriage, but now wants to uphold the ruling from the supreme court. I guess he figured it wouldn't look good if the Governor was against gays, the state legislature AND the state court.

It will be nice to get married again. We've been living in sin for so many decades. We tied the knot four years ago in San Francisco, but the courts turned around and untied it six months later. Then the legislature accomplished the herculean task of passing gay marriage not once, but twice. So we would have married two more times, but those marriages were vetoed by an Austrian weight lifter. I'm so glad he came to America to take advantage of our many freedoms. Just wish he wasn't so determined to take away mine. So now the courts have given us a fourth chance. Maybe we'll run out and get hitched again before the voters get their chance to unhitch us again in November. Banning gay marriage in California would be such a moral victory for all those poor central valley Republican saps whose winner-takes-all votes will be going to Obama.

stuart......Barack Obama made a "political decision" not to campaign in the Florida and Michigan primaries...

If you have a link to the above, please post it here. No one campaigned in FL or MI unless you count Obama's TV buy that ran in FL and Obama supporter Conyers telling people to vote uncommitted in the MI primary. Obama did make a political decision to take his name off in MI...he didn't want people to see his name with the little number following with Clinton's name with the big number in the headline. It is a pretty punkass move, don't you think?
